What does Regular or Larger mean for PDF, Chart and Kit options?

Regular means it's a normal sized symbol. Larger means enlarged symbols of the chart but still printed on A4 sized paper thus resulting in double the pages. It's easier for the eyes when it's larger.

What is the difference between 14-count and 18-count fabric?

14-count has 14 squares per inch and 18-count has 18 squares per inch. 14-count is the general favorite for beginners and 18-count is the smaller square. If you have stitched before, 18-count should be a breeze and the end result will be more detailed. On 18-count, the design will be a few inches smaller.

Do you cut the threads?

Yes, the threads are cut into lengths of approximately 0.5 meter and presorted in their color code. However if you prefer the threads not to be cut and only presorted, you can add the request under Notes during checkout.

I normally start from the center of a chart. What is the best way to stitch your chart?

The best way to do our charts is to start from page 1. Do block by block (page by page). Go to the right hand corner of the fabric and measure at least 2-3 inches from top and side. Then mark the meeting point with a pen. (see below).

Finish 1 whole page before moving on to the next page. One the next page don’t stitch the highlighted lines as they are repeated lines from the previous page. It’s only there to help you find your place.
